Leadership Webinar Series

The Leadership Webinar Series is an initiative launched by the Leadership Learning Community, a learning network dedicated to transforming the way leadership development work is conceived, conducted and evaluated. We focus on leveraging leadership as a means to create a more just and equitable society.

We partner with thought leaders in the leadership field to produce a wide range of high-quality webinars, including sessions on collective leadership, systems thinking, and leadership networks. The series, launched in 2011, has engaged over 2,000 participants across the nation – we encourage you to sign up for the next session and get access to the latest thinking in the field!

Do you have an interesting topic or idea that you would like to share with the Leadership Learning Community? We invite you to propose your idea or topic for a future webinar!

Peer Assist Webinar: Evaluation Framework for a Network StrategyClaire Reinelt, Ph.D (November 2014)We shared an evaluation framework that we have developed for assessing the impact of a network strategy for leadership development programs. This is part of a project that LLC is doing in conjunction with network and leadership development experts for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. We used an interactive format of presenting ideas and getting feedback and thoughts. Thank you for your time and wisdom and hope also that the interaction will provide you with ideas that you can apply in your own leadership and network assessments.

Developing a Network Strategy for Leadership ProgrammingDeborah Meehan, Executive Director, Leadership Learning Community (November 2014)The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has articulated a bold new strategic vision “to help create a national Culture of Health that makes it possible for everyone to lead healthy lives, now and for generations to come.” To create a Culture of Health will require systems change, and leadership development can be a leverage point to catalyze change. The Leadership Learning Community was selected, along with seven other organizations, to partner with the Foundation to develop recommendations for their leadership programming based on their new vision. Our focus is on developing a comprehensive network strategy - we believe that network strategies intentionally weave relationships and foster partnerships across sectors and disciplines so that needed ideas flow more freely; integrated solutions are developed; and local communities learn and share with each other to scale what works to improve health outcomes. We are working with a group of thought leaders in the areas of leadership, networks and evaluation (Claire Reinelt, Beth Kanter, Heather McLeod Grant, June Holley, Milano Harden, the Interaction Institute for Social Change, and Zero Divide) and would also like to engage you, the LLC network, to help us test some of our initial thinking and contribute to this remarkable new leadership initiative.

On Thursday, September 11, 2014, Dr. Michael McAfee led the group in a discussion around the challenges of leading collective impact initiatives that aim to challenge and dismantle our nation's inequities. During the discussion, he engaged the group to consider the ways in which results-driven systems can be used by leaders to focus and accelerate sustainable change. He also described the system of technical assistance that he and his team employ in their work, and its impact within the Promise Neighborhoods movement.

Lessons learned and keys to success that were harvested by June Holley from a 5 module virtual practicum that was based on principles of learning and behavior change. This will be relevant to leadership programs and networks that want to augment face to face time with virtual learning opportunities that can address the geographic, time, and cost challenges of working only through face to face connections. As a teaser one of the lessons is the importance of “having the capacity to have breakout group capacity to increase engagement around content.”

Supporting Movement and Network Leadership: Creating Space for Emergent LearningRobin Katcher, Management Assistance Group (May 2014)Movements are powerful drivers of change. They align people and resources – and shift culture, amass political power and advance concrete gains. Yet, movements and the networked approaches they require also place extraordinary demands on leaders. Today’s social movements, like our world, are complex, interconnected and buffeted by constant change. In this turbulent environment, leaders must adapt, innovate and develop new approaches to learning, leadership, organization, networks and strategy. As a result, traditional approaches to developing and supporting leadership must also evolve. But, how? In this webinar we will explore one of many experimental approaches – the Network Leadership Innovation Lab – and share some of our initial reflections. We will also pose some of the real time questions we are facing as we continue to co-create the program with participants so that we might also learn from you.

Leadership & EquityCheryl Fields of Langhum Mitchell Communications and Mary Stelletello Vista Global Coaching & Consulting (March 2014)Increasingly, equity is an issue leaders of community-based organizations and institutions must consider as they deploy precious resources, advocate for their constituents, and provide social services. But what does it really mean to be an equitable leader? Is there a difference between equity and equality? And how do you know if your decisions, policies, and practices are truly equitable? As our population becomes more diverse and competition steepens, it is imperative for leaders to focus on closing opportunity gaps.

In this webinar, we looked at the value of developing an online Personal Professional Learning Network (PLN). PLNs are intentionally created learning networks set up to support your non-formal learning needs. These learning networks are powered by your learning objective(s), the types of people you choose to include, social capital, network hubs and/or network weavers. What is more, it is increasingly clear that strong personal online networks play a role in the growth of organizational online community and networks.

Realizing the Collective Conscious - Multi-Sector Leadership Development for the Public’s HealthKarya Lustig and Leticia Pagán of the Public Health Institute (PHI)(October 2013)Today's context for health leadership is complex, rapidly evolving, and calls for new approaches to the development of leaders for today and the future. “We need to train our leaders to be more collaborative, to be more inclusive, and to have greater integrity. It’s a whole different set of practices.” The Center for Health Leadership and Practice (CHLP) has an innovative approach to leadership development that brings together teams of leaders from multiple sectors that want to advance their leadership skills and achieve health equity in their community.

2013 Webinar: Leading from the Inside Out, Stacy Kono and Pia Infante of Rockwood Leadership Institute (August 2013)Leadership is the ability to align and inspire others towards common goals.

2013 Webinar: Developing Social Change Leaders: Practices and Perspectives on Fostering an Intersectional Approach to Identity and Social Justice, Carmen Morgan and Povi-Tamu Bryant of Leadership Development in Interethnic Relations (LDIR) (August 2013)The Leadership Development in Interethnic Relations (LDIR) program has been training leaders for social change since the early 1990s, when it was founded by a multiracial coalition of organizations led by the Asian Pacific American Legal Center. The program's curriculum prioritizes the growth of participants' analyses around race, gender, class, ability, and more, alongside the development of effective facilitation and communication skills. This presentation will provide insight into the rationale and values behind LDIR's pedagogy, challenges seen and lessons learned over time, and brief examples of how we currently get participants thinking and acting on race, gender, class, privilege, and other facets of identity in an intersectional, allied way.

2013 Webinar: Making Social Identity Part of Community Leadership Development, Kelly Hannum, Tim Leisman, and Stephanie Walker of Center for Creative Leadership® (July 2013)Shared and effective community leadership can be helped or hindered by our conceptions of and experiences with people from different identity groups. Add to that the reality that our experiences are embedded in larger social identity structures and dynamics within communities that in many cases are reinforcing negative patterns. So how can social identity best be raised and addressed in community leadership development programs? How can ideas about social identity expand our thinking about community and about leadership? We are on a journey to develop a curriculum that can serve as a resource to community leaders (and by leaders we mean everyone contributing to leadership, not just those with a formal leadership role). Specifically we aim to build awareness about social identity dynamics in people and communities to enhance the ability of individuals and groups to work together more effectively in order to achieve "common good" community outcomes.

The Disparities Leadership Program (DLP) is a one year executive leadership program designed to equip a cadre of leaders in healthcare with in-depth knowledge in the field of disparities, cutting-edge quality improvement strategies for identifying and addressing disparities, and leadership skills to facilitate the organizational transformation necessary to advance health care equity. With support from The Aetna Foundation, The Leadership Learning Community (LLC) conducted an external evaluation of the DLP and the program's impact on participating organizations’ efforts to address health inequities. In this webinar, Dr. Joseph Betancourt, Director of the Disparities Solutions Center, Dr. Roderick King, Senior Faculty at the Disparities Solutions Center, and Dr. Claire Reinelt, founding member and former Research and Evaluation Director of LLC, will provide an overview of the DLP, present the findings of the evaluation and discuss lessons learned for the development and implementation of successful executive leadership programs focused on organizational transformation.

Cities are becoming the most prominent context for social change in the world today, and they offer exciting opportunities for participative governance. A model of “systematic civic stewardship” frames the city as community-based, action-learning system. Leaders play key roles in neighborhood teams focused on local challenges (graduation rates, health outcomes, etc.), while learning and working with peers via city-wide communities of practice. We have much to learn about learning systems in any context—understanding how they work in communities and cities draws on organization experience and provokes new insights.

This webinar explores the idea that leaders can be rejuvenated and inspired and great collaborations sparked by the same thing – social capital. · After years of leading social-sector organizations in an environment where competition is more the norm than collaboration, many gifted leaders are near burnout, unable to maximize their individual or collective gifts. Since 2005, the Barr Fellowship has been changing that in Boston – through an investment in personal growth and connections among social change leaders. Recently profiled in the Foundation Review (and before that, in a Stanford Social Innovation Review Case study in May, 2012), the Barr Fellowship is proving to be a powerful force for transformation of individual leaders, their organizations, and their city.
